Wait, so Newton has more rushing TD's, more passing yards, more passing TD's, more individual awards...but becaues their completion % is equal...they are the same player. Come on, you can't be serious! That's laughable!

The NFL keeps score in TD's not yards! So...there is that. I don't care if they were short yardage or not...TD's are TD's!

Pro Bowls...who cares, that is a popularity contest and half the players don't go and marginal players get in now because they back-fill the teams! Newton has been to 3 pro bowls if you want to even count that and has many years ahead of him he will go to more than 6. The AWARDS that matters are MVP's and ALL PRO...McNabb never won either, Newton has won both an MVP and been All Pro!

This opinion you typed kills your entire argument. Guys like Big Ben, Rivers, Brees...etc the bulk of their careers were essentially in the same era as McNabb and its the same pass happy league. McNabb didn't play much in 99' (only like 200 passing attempts) , his real on field career as an every game starter started in 2000. From 2000 till today the NFL has been a pass happy league with rules that favor the QB's. McNabb's numbers are way behind someone like Cam. Same rules that favor the QB and the passing game, same era!
